“Rose Tea is my go-to drink when I feel stressed, overwhelmed, anxious or just tired,” wrote Savaliya.
According to Ayurveda, the qualities of rose are Shukrala (improves male and female fertility),
Grahi (absorbent, bowel binding, useful in IBS and diarrhea), Deepani ( improves digestion), Hridya (cardiac tonic, good for heart), Varna (promotes skin complexion).
Rose also has qualities such as Shishira (coolant), Pittahara (Balances Pitta), Dahahara (relieves internal burning sensation, seen in Pitta imbalance conditions such as gastritis, sore throat, laryngitis, sun stroke etc) and Jwarahara (useful in fever).
To make rose tea, take one glass of warm water and add one tablespoon of dry rose petals in it. Cover the glass with a lid and let the rose petals infuse in the water for 5-7 minutes , strain and drink.
Besides relieving stress, rose tea is also good for curing mouth ulcers, excessive thirst, vomiting, migraine, acidity, excess bleeding, depression, anxiety and overthinking.
